Feeling uneasy under Su Jie's stare, Ning Xinyue instantly formed a layer of ice crystals over her body, encasing herself inside like a vigilant little squirrel with her big eyes blinking rapidly.
"Are you a turtle or something, always liking to seal yourself in ice?"
Su Jie was amused and laughed, finding the girl quite cautious.
"Don't think I haven't figured it out, you just tried to rob me, didn't you?"
Ning Xinyue puffed up her cheeks, clearly aware of the fable of the child who walks through a noisy market holding gold.
"Nothing of the sort. But speaking of which, how about we cooperate? I'll help you conceal your identity, and once you locate the exotic treasure, we can dig it up and sell it and split the money."
Su Je suddenly spoke up, proposing a plan of cooperation.
Ning Xinyue paused, pondering seriously.
After a while, Ning Xinyue seemed to have thought it through and nodded, "Alright, let's do as you say."
But inside, Ning Xinyue was scoffing.
